Personal: Justin Keith Warren is the son of Herman and LaDonna Warren of Tyler, Texas … born April 10, 1985 in Tyler, Texas … has not declared a major.

Entering his third season as a starter at linebacker ... Gifted defender could be ready to take a spot among the Big 12’s elite linebackers.

2004 (SOPHOMORE): Produced 58 tackles, including two for a loss of 15 yards, while seeing action in 10 games … started nine games … missed the Texas Tech game due to injury … scored a touchdown on a 23-yard interception return against Wyoming … also forced and recovered a fumble and broke up a pass … had a season-high eight tackles against Utah and Colorado.

2003 (FRESHMAN): Recorded 32 tackles, including 4 tackles for loss of yardage and 2 sacks, while seeing action in all 12 games … made 7 starts at linebacker … had a season-high 6 tackles twice, including in his first career start against Arkansas State in the season opener … first true freshman linebacker to start a season-opener in school history.

HIGH SCHOOL: Parade All-American and a USA Today second-team All-American selection … also earned Class 5A Defensive Player of the Year by the Texas Sports Writers Association … recorded 108 tackles including 23 sacks and added another 23 quarterback pressures … coached by Michael Owens … helped lead his team to the state quarterfinals as a senior … named Co-Defensive Player of the Year in his district and named the All-East Texas Defensive Player of the Year by the Tyler Courier-Times-Telegraph … earned first-team All-East Texas honors as a junior with 71 tackles with 6 sacks and 10 other tackles for losses … during his sophomore season, Warren recorded 42 tackles and 3 sacks … consensus Texas Top 100 recruit.

The good: Warren is a powerful hitter with adequate speed to get to the sidelines if he reads the play properly, and he usually displays good instincts and reads.

The bad: Has just marginal speed, his coverage skills are suspect, and his level of development will not allow him to play the nickel backer role early in his career. He must prove more consistent on his reads and impress in an NFL camp this summer to make a pro roster. His lack of speed (4.9 40 time) hurts him because teams look for defenders with 4.7 speed at worst to cover kicks.

The skinny: Despite a very productive career, his stock is falling and he may not be drafted.
